This device is contraindicated for any person who is connected to a wearable or implantable electronic device or instrument such as a pacemaker or defibrillator.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Environment

The a-rivals Body Analyzer measures weight and use bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to estimate body fat, total body water percentage, bone mass, and muscle mass in generally healthy adults 18 years of age or older. It is intended for use in the domestic setting only and not for diagnostic and / or therapeutic purposes.

Your Scale and Its

To ensure your safety as well as the service life of your scale, please avoid using the scale under the following circumstances:

 Concurrent use of this device and implantable medical electronic instruments, e.g. Cardiac Pacemaker  Concurrent use of this device and wearable medical electronic instruments, e.g. electrocardiograph  Concurrent use of this device and other medical electronic instruments for life support, e.g. mechanical heart  Slippery floor such as tile floor  Jumping onto the platform immediately after bath or with wet hands  Near a cell phone or microwave oven

Avoid storage in the following locations:

 Where there is water  Where the device may be exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity, moisture, direct sunlight, dust, or salt air  Where there is risk of shock or drop  Where you store chemicals or full of corrosive gases  Where in reach of the infants or children

Efficient Use of Your Scale

To ensure the accuracy of measurement, please follow below instructions when you start measurement.

 Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Soft surface such as carpet will affect the performance of the scale.  Step onto the platform with bare feet.

General Instructions

A-rivals Glass Body Analyzer applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology. A small amount of weak current flows through the human body so as to detect the bio-impedance and estimate body fat. The electrical current is small and may not be felt. This BIA technology is safe, non-invasive, toxic-free and harmless. It also possesses the characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.

The current mentioned above is less than 1mA. However, please be aware that anyone with a wearable or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must avoid using this device. The intended use of this device is for adult’s indoor use only.

Insert the Batteries

Open the battery door in the back of the scale.

Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5V AAA) into the battery compartment according to the polarity indications marked inside the compartment. * The digits “8888” will be shown on the LCD.

Close the battery door and wait until the digits “0.0kg” are shown on the LCD.

When the symbol appears, the device will power off. Then you shall replace with a new set of batteries. Please replace all four batteries at the same time. Do NOT mix the old batteries with the new one.

Worn batteries are hazardous waste. Do NOT dispose of them together with the household garbage. Please refer to the local ordinances and

recycling instructions regarding disposal of the worn batteries.

Health Tips - About Body Fat

Fat is essential for human body. It can not only store energy and protect viscera, but also regulate body temperature and maintain normal physiological function of human body. However, too much body fat is harmful to human body. It is always accompanied by Fatty Liver, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc. Therefore self-measuring and self-monitoring body fat level are beneficial to your health. Since we can’t judge body fat level simply by our weight, this body fat analyzer, with BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology applied, is an accurate device that offers a quick and comfortable way to obtain your body fat level.
